Shen Jiahe's narration took Pei Hao to a mysterious world, and he listened to it with fascination, as if he had been in it, following them all the way through the ancient roads of mountains and rivers, crossing rivers and oceans, and reaching the mysterious southern territory.

"My favorite is the Forest Inn, it's simply the best inn I've ever stayed in this palace, and after walking in, it seems to have broken into a fairyland world by mistake, and it doesn't seem to be real." Shen Jiahe's eyebrows fluttered and she told what she had seen and heard before, "The proprietress inside is also graceful, which can be regarded as a scene." ”

Pei Hao listened with envy, and then looked at Pei Yuan unhappily and said: "I worked tirelessly for you and your wife in the capital, you two are good, go out and be happy." ”

Pei Yuan smiled and shook his head: "Now that I'm back, you can relax a little bit, and after a while the situation stabilizes, you can take Jintai out and have a good time." ”

Pei Hao has this intention, if that forest park can take Jintai to live for two days, she will definitely like it very much. However, listening to Pei Yuan's meaning, I am afraid that there will be new changes in the imperial court recently.

Speaking of Jintai, Pei Yuan remembered the medicinal materials he brought back from Yiluo Pavilion, and hurriedly said to Pei Hao: "This time, I brought back a lot of tonic medicines from Yiluo Pavilion, all of which are for the disease of body cold, and I will wait for you to bring some from the palace to Princess Jintai." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, it's rare that you can still think of us when you go out to play, I'm really moved." Pei Hao covered his heart exaggeratedly.

Pei Yuan smiled, turned around and said to Shen Jiahe without instructions: "You let Bai Ying wait for you to rest first, and I will go out with Pei Hao to talk about something, and I will come back in a while." ”

Pei Yuan took Pei Hao to the imperial study, he shouldn't speak, Pei Hao had already roughly guessed something, "You want to ask Pei Shu how capable he is during this time?" ”

Pei Yuan nodded, he heard some things about the imperial court, and after entering the capital, he naturally heard the praise of the people for Pei Shu because of the arson case, but after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he was still a little worried: "I believe that he has the ability, but because of those things earlier, can he serve the public when he sits in this position." ”

Pei Yuan looked at Pei Hao with a serious face: "This is Pei's world, and it is also related to the future of hundreds of officials and the people, even if I don't want to be this emperor, I can't easily hand it over to others, Pei Hao, you should understand my thoughts." ”

As a member of the royal family, Pei Hao can naturally understand Pei Yuan's worries, but after observing Pei Shu over the past few days, Pei Hao feels that these worries can be put aside together.

"I think Pei Shu is more suitable than you to sit in this position, it's not that you are not as capable as him, but you also know that people on the throne of the emperor always have to abandon a lot of things, for example, a simple matter of choosing a concubine can give you a headache, but where Pei Shu is is not a problem at all."

Pei Hao smiled again: "Of course, I know that this is only a small aspect, and I understand what you are worried about, but I have seen what Pei Shu has done these days, if you think about it, let it go now, I think it is indeed a good time." ”

Needless to say, Pei Yuan already understood in his heart, "After he ascends the throne, I'm afraid I will need you and me to take care of it more, and you won't be too troublesome when the time comes." ”

After sending Pei Hao away, Pei Yuan returned to the dormitory lightly, not wanting Shen Jiahe to not sleep at all, just crooked on the bed looking at the account book and waiting for him, and hurriedly asked: "Why don't you rest quickly after being tired all the way?" ”

"I want to ask you when we will go to my father's house to pick up the two children, I want to go tomorrow, and let Liuyu deliver the letter early tomorrow morning." Shen Jiahe also remembered that the two children were still in the Shen family when Pei Yuan and Pei Hao had just left, and their parents were too careless.

Pei Yuan shook his head, he had his own plans, since he was going to give the Zen position to Pei Shu soon, they would not live in this palace for a long time, so it was better not to toss back and forth.

"You take Bai Ying to pack up your things tomorrow, and let Liuyu send some of the things you like and are used to the Xianwang Mansion first, so that Gonggong Fu can watch and arrange them, and the child's affairs are not in a hurry first." Pei Yuan lay down on the bed, looked at the top of the tent with plum blossoms and asked.

Then he turned over to look at Shen Jiahe and asked her in a low voice, "Are you comfortable in the palace or in the palace?" ”

"It's all the same," Shen Jiahe leaned closer to him, "As long as I'm with you, it's the same everywhere." ”

Pei Yuan pulled the corners of his mouth, pinched the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "Why didn't I see your mouth so sweet in the past." He stretched out his hand to hold Shen Jiahe in his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder socket, and said, "It's good to have you with you, Jiahe." ”

is already a queen, but she still has to abide by a lot of rules that she has to abide by, and there is no freedom at all, so she will raise some birds and cats, Pei Yuan knows it in his heart, but these are not important, they are about to leave here.

Early the next morning, Shen Jiahe took Liuyu and Bai Ying to pack up their things together, she looked at the pair of yellow orioles brought back from the Forest Inn, small and lovely, but they always attracted the fluttering of snowballs, Shen Jiahe thought about it, and asked Liuyu to take the birds away.

He also instructed: "Let Father-in-law Fu take care of it, but don't be caught and eaten by night cats or something." ”

Gonggong Fu did not follow Pei Yuan into the palace at the beginning, but has been staying in the palace of King Xian, although the two masters are not there, but he still takes care of it carefully every day, and sends people to clean it every day, which is no different from before.

Now seeing that Liuyu was moving a few carriages of things to the courtyard, he hurriedly pulled Liuyu to a secluded place on the side and spoke: "The emperor and queen are coming back?" ”

Liuyu nodded, and then took the pair of yellow orioles from other subordinates, and stuffed them into the hands of Gonggong Fu: "This is brought back by the queen mother from outside, and my father-in-law should take good care of it." ”

"Hey, you reassure the queen mother, but," Fu Gonggong pulled the liuzhen who was about to leave, "I said, after the emperor and the queen mother come back, will they still go?" Will the two little masters also come back? ”

Liuyu frowned and thought about it, but these emperors didn't say anything, they only said that they would move things back first, and said that they would come back to live soon.

"We should come back together, is there something wrong with my father-in-law?" Liuyu asked.

Father-in-law Fu nodded: "There is no place for the two little masters in the house, so don't you have to quickly let people clean up a yard, plus the nurse and the maid and the like, the yard is small, or you go back and ask for instructions, just ask the Qingmei Courtyard in the east of Deyang to live for the two little masters?" ”

Father-in-law Fu is reliable, basically he grasps the affairs of the palace, big and small, Pei Yuan has never said anything, and he waved his hand and said: "Father-in-law Fu, you can watch it, I'll just go back and say goodbye, the emperor and the queen have just come back from outside, there are many things in the palace in the past two days, I'm afraid I won't care about these little things." ”

Liuyu went back with the empty carriage with a big grin, and Alai stood at the door of King Kang's Mansion and watched the carriage pass in front of him, and ran over to the East Palace, which was busy with smoke.

"The subordinates look like they are moving, the emperor will never go back to live in the palace again, right?" Alai told Pei Shu what he saw outside, and asked strangely.

Pei Shu's heart jumped, a little nervous, a little apprehensive, and a little afraid of the unknown, he vaguely knew what this meant, but if his conjecture was true, the last thing he should have in his heart at this moment was these emotions, which should have been happy and excited, shouldn't it?

After a long time, Pei Shu suddenly looked up at Alai in front of him and asked, "Do you like the palace?" ”

Alai didn't know why Pei Shu asked him this question, but he felt that today's master had a little wrong face after listening to what he had just said, so he replied cautiously: "I can't say whether I like it or not, after all, my subordinates don't enter the palace many times, and they can't go inside, so they can't talk about this." ”

Pei Shu didn't say anything, just turned his head and asked Xiaowu who was waiting for his pen and ink beside him: "What about you?" From King Kang's Mansion to the East Palace, and then to the Imperial Palace, do you like there? ”

Xiao Wu's movements on her hand stopped, and she replied softly: "The slave maid has never seen the palace, so naturally she can't say it like Alai, but the palace or the East Palace is the same for the slave and maid, anyway, the slave and maid don't leave the prince for three steps, and they all have to serve the prince, even if they go to the palace, it's no different." ”

It's just that from one gorgeous room to another, there is no difference in essence, she is still a little slave, and this one next to her is still a high master.

When the Xianwang Mansion was almost taken care of, Pei Yuan summoned Pei Hao to the imperial study after another early dynasty and discussed with him: "The Zen throne ceremony is really troublesome, I thought that these things would simply be handled by the prince himself, and as for those ministers, they were all handed over to him to deal with." ”

Pei Hao couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Pei Shu: "Are you sure he can completely handle those ministers, you let go too neatly, so I can give him a buffer process." ”

Pei Yuan had been thinking about this for more than a day or two, and he said to Pei Hao in detail: "Since the minister agreed to make him the crown prince, then he was approved to succeed to the throne, but it was just a matter of time. I am the same age as the crown prince, and I can't wait for me to succeed him a hundred years later, maybe he won't survive until then. ”

"That's right, I'm not entangled in the matter of time, it's just the matter of the Zen position, you really don't show up?" Pei Hao asked.

"I'll find a way for him, don't worry, you, the imperial uncle, if there's really any trouble, it's not too late for me to come forward."

Pei Yuan's method is the edict he has already prepared in front of him, he originally filled in Pei Shu's name on the edict of the crown prince, and now he still fills in Pei Shu's name on the edict of the Zen throne.

When Shen Jiahe came, what she saw was Pei Yuan, who was meditating on the edict, and the edict passed to Pei Shu, she asked, "You really decided?" Abandoning the throne? Relinquishing power? Abandoning this majestic palace? ”

She squatted down and lay on Pei Yuan's lap, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to think about me, I said, as long as I am with you, I will be the same wherever I am." ”

Pei Yuan raised his hand and stroked the long satin-like hair, the green silk was wrapped around his fingertips, twisted in wisps, let go, and picked up Shen Jiahe to sit on his lap, before he said: "I'm the same as you, as long as you're by my side, it's the same everywhere, if we're not happy here, we naturally want to change places." ”

"The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will make trouble today because of the matter of choosing a concubine, and tomorrow they can come to you for trouble because of other things, I don't want to do this, and I don't bother to go around, it's better to avoid it." Pei Yuan hugged Shen Jiahe and said softly, "When I return to the Xianwang Mansion, I will never have these worries again." ”

Pei Shu's speculation was verified a week later in the morning court. Pei Yuan stood up from the dragon chair, watched the chief steward read out the edict of succession, and then said loudly: "The crown prince will be your new emperor from now on, and your family should be as before, conscientiously assisting the new emperor to create the glory of the Pei family." ”

The ministers of the court and the central government were still in shock, they never thought that Pei Yuan would be on the throne after less than two years as emperor, but before they could speak, Pei Shu took the lead in standing up: "Please ask the emperor to take back his order, this matter is not appropriate, I am inexperienced and need to learn more from the emperor, and I have no ability to succeed to the throne." ”

Pei Yuan smiled, he naturally knew that Pei Shu would not respond easily, even if he should come down, the hundred officials would not respond, it seems that this edict alone will not work, but it doesn't matter, he also prepared a follow-up move.

Pei Yuan looked at Pei Shu with heavy eyes, this kind of look made Pei Shu feel excited, and after a while Pei Yuan sat down, supported his forehead with one hand and said: "Although you are young, you can do things steadily, and you have experienced a lot in the past two years, I can rest assured that the country will be handed over to you, not to mention that there will be King Ling on the side to help you in the future." ”
